Sakura gets her passport photo...Uncle Matty did some shopping!

Our Precious Baby Girl!

Sakura's passport photo

Late last night we received this precious picture from Taz of Sakura. This is her passport photo. Doesn't she look adorable? Dean and I are so anxious to go and get her. We love this picture!

This week Sakura received a very special package in the mail (her very first mail!) from my brother - her Uncle Matty. Uncle Matty did an awesome job of picking things out for his special little niece - he is VERY excited to be an Uncle! I LOVE everything, but especially her little dragon jammies, and her Snoopy. Matt has always had a thing for Snoopy and he bought little Sakura her very first (VERY soft) stuffed Snoopy....Sakura will have to try and find a special Snoopy in Japan to send to Uncle Matty - thanks to many families (especially Candi and Jared) we know that there is a neat Snoopy store somewhere in Tokyo!

Special gifts from Uncle Matty

I am also including a little bit from Taz about why we don't have Sakura's information yet, I know that so many have asked me, and this is why.....

Exerpt From Taz: I have been waiting to get original documentation of sakura but it seems like takes more time. The reason why takes more time as other because of your bio mother is NOT moving to our institution to birth. She gave birth at her local town, but mostly our bio mothers move in at Okada-san's place. Normally, bio mother has to check up at OB/GYN after 1 month later of birth, and she must bring baby-book with her to the hospital.So now, bio mother of Sakura still has baby -book which has all birth information, that is the reason why I can't confirm you the detail of birth measurement.It should be come to us very soon but again, I can't confirm you exact date. Sakura is doing very fine. She takes a LOT of formula.I attach here Sakura's passport photo.
